The best laptops of 2022
Comparison: What is the best laptop of 2022? – The best laptops of 2022
1.
Huawei MateBook 14s (2021) – The most remarkable laptop
- Pros
- Lots of capacity and ports
- Amazing keyboard
- 90Hz display
- Advanced Webcam
- Cons
- Easy design
- Thunderbolt 4 only on high specs
- Webcam only 720p
The MacBook 14s, an upgraded version of the equally impressive MateBook 14, is one of the most complete laptops on the market, especially now that the webcam is back at the top of the screen and not on the keyboard.
Sure, it's only 720p, but it runs the Windows Hello operating system. The MateBook 14s is amazing in virtually every department, and you can get it with up to an i7 (H-series) processor and 16GB of RAM.
On top of that, it has a 2.5K display that provides a 90Hz refresh rate. It also has plenty of ports, although it's a shame that Thunderbolt 4 is only available on the larger models. premium and there are other manufacturers that do offer it.
MacBook Air (M1) – Best MacBook
- Pros
- Powerful elements
- Durable battery
- iOS Apps
- Cons
- Limited ports
- High performance
The MacBook Air may look just like its predecessor, but that's not the case when you look inside.
The most important change is the replacement of the 10nm Intel chip with the 5nm M1 chip, which is much more powerful, faster and faster, especially in video editing and in the gaming.
Es mucho más veloz que varios portátiles Windows con Intel, y proporciona bastante más allá de ser el portátil de entrada mucho más económico de Apple. Asimismo hay una optimization importante en la batería y la pantalla.
It doesn't use fans, which makes it super quiet, but it could hurt performance so it doesn't overheat. In this sense, it may be better to go for the MacBook Pro with M1 if you're going to be using it for several hours.
3.
LG gram 17 (2021) – Best 17″ laptop
- Pros
- Impressively fast
- Good battery
- Amazing screen
- Cons
- Soft keyboard
- McAfee pop-ups
We thought that LG couldn't make the LG gram 17 successful, but in 2021 it did and it got everything right.
It's an impressively fast piece of engineering and now has an even more attractive design. It seems that LG has listened to us and has also improved the speakers and the trackpad.
This laptop also has incredible battery life, features Thunderbolt 4, and has an incredible display. It's not a touchscreen, but some people prefer it.
It is, without a doubt, the benchmark 17″ laptop, although LG also has the gram 16 in case you want something similar but smaller and cheaper.
4.
Dell XPS 15 – Best 15.6” Laptop
- Pros
- Nice screen
- Lots of capacity
- Good battery
- Cons
- Shallow keyboard
- Cooling system
- Expensive
Es posible que no nos concluya de seducir su cámara web y no haya establecido bien la technology HDR, pero esto tiene muy poca relevancia si tomamos en cuenta todo lo demás que da este portátil de Dell con pantalla 4K.
Those looking for a powerful 15” Windows laptop will want to keep this XPS 15 in mind. You won’t find anything better on the market: well built, solid, and with incredible performance.
Sure, it's expensive, but not as much as you might think with what you'll get in return. We don't recommend spending that much if you're going to buy the entry-level model, though. Spend a little more and skip the built-in graphics card.
5.
Huawei MateBook D 14 – Best value for money
- Pros
- Incredible value for money
- Incredible elements
- Fast charging
- Cons
- Uncertain webcam
- A single USB-C
- Brightness with limit
Beyond being a standard quality laptop, Huawei could not have done better with the Huawei MateBook D 14, which feels like a laptop premium to each and every scenario. It's fast, easy to transport, and very strong, which is hard to beat at this price.
It has AMD internals that are the envy of models that cost about the same. While it is not considered a laptop, gaming, the truth is that its Radeon Vega 8 graphics are going to be ideal for games like Fortnite and Rocket League.
As if this were not enough, the Huawei MateBook D 14 has a battery life of one day. The results of benchmarks give much more than ten hours. Its 65W fast charge means that you can charge the 43 % battery in just half an hour.
6.
HP Envy 13 (2021) – Best Value Core i5 Laptop
- Pros
- Magnificent screen
- Solid battery and agility
- Nice design
- Discreet keyboard
- Cons
- No HDMI or Thunderbolt
- The model with i7 is expensive
- Disappointing trackpad
The HP Envy 13 looks decent, has a gorgeous display, and solid everyday computing power in its Core i5 version. It also has a solid keyboard and decent battery life. In many ways, it's an excellent everyday ultraportable.
HP's flagship laptop has been one of our favorites for years, but the 2021 model has taken a downgrade and the 2020 model is now hard to find.
It's still a great laptop and is affordably priced unless you're looking for the i7 SKU, and you might not like the lack of HDMI and Thunderbolt either. You can find beefier designs elsewhere and better trackpads, too.
7.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 – Best Laptop for Continuous Use
- Pros
- Multipurpose design
- Good information
- Good connectivity
- Cons
- No fingerprint scanner
It may not have a fingerprint sensor or an Ethernet port, but the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 has far more pros than cons.
Con este portátil, vas a tener la mayor parte de cosas que precisas a un precio accesible. Es rápido y simple de transportar como recomienda el nombre en inglés, si bien no posee la hinge de 360 grados como varios modelos Yoga.
Puedes escoger entre Intel processors o AMD, un display aceptable, una batería sólida, altífonos Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi 6 y mucho más. En términos en general, tiene una buenísima relación calidad precio.
8.
Acer Swift 5 – Better portability
- Pros
- Impressively fast
- Strong performance
- Thunderbolt 4
- Cons
- Mediocre speakers
- Loud fans
Acer continues to impress us with the Swift 5, an incredible laptop that, overall, is hard to beat.
It's not as affordable as the previous version, but the Acer Swift 5 is impressively solid and fast. It's still equally premium and offers a decent selection of ports, including Thunderbolt 4.
It doesn't have the best keyboard or the best speakers, but the display is advanced and the performance is solid and it has impressive battery life.
9.
Microsoft Surface Notebook 4 – The best built laptop
- Pros
- Amazing screen
- Solid performance
- Good battery
- Cons
- Loud fans
- Limited ports
- Quite expensive premium models
Poco cambió con este Microsoft y la verdad es que no estuvo mal que lo hubiesen rediseñado, pero el Surface Notebook 4 es una buenísima opción para los que deseen obtener un portátil.
The fans can get a bit loud, but the performance is solid whether using an AMD or Intel chip. Battery life is also good, and both the quality display and keyboard provide a good experience.
Sin embargo, los modelos de range alta son muchos costosos. Asimismo nos hubiese dado gusto que ofreciesen modelos con un panel OLED o con conectividad LTE opcional.
10.
Dell XPS 13 – Best Keyboard
- Pros
- Premium construction
- Incredible performance
- Amazing keyboard
- Cons
- Limited ports
- Expensive
- It may overheat
The XPS 13 used to be the undisputed king of the ultrabooks, but the competition has stepped up its game and Dell is no longer able to keep up. Now, that doesn't mean the 2020 Dell XPS 13 isn't still worth the money, and quite a bit (albeit expensive).
In fact, its beautiful 16:10 display and having the best keyboard you can find means it's worth keeping in mind especially if you're looking for a ultrabook Windows. Its problems are few ports, heating problems and a high price.
As we said, this isn't a bad laptop: the XPS 13 is a great device and it's an improvement in several areas compared to the previous edition. If you end up buying it, you'll probably love it, but its flaws mean it's not the best laptop of the year.
11.
Huawei MateBook X Pro (2021) – The most luxurious
- Pros
- 11th Gen Intel Chips
- Very elegant design
- Amazing trackpad
- Cons
- Below average battery
- No prudent GPU option
- Webcam on keyboard
We would like to see Huawei change the design of this laptop after using the same one for the last 4 years, especially because of the location of the webcam, which is on the keyboard.
Even so, the X Pro still has a very elegant look and build quality. premiumThe latest Intel chips are fast, the 3:2 screen is new and it has some of the best keyboards and trackpad.
La autonomía de la batería podría ser mejor y, además de esto, no hay una alternativa de graphic card dedicada. No es tan «Pro» como antes, pero todavía es una increíble opción para la mayor parte de clientes.
12.
Asus ZenBook Duo – The ultimate multitasking laptop
- Pros
- Dual screen
- Performance finished
- Fast
- Cons
- Crowded keyboard
- Small trackpad
- Expensive
The ZenBook Duo's innovative hinge connects the two displays together, making it a nice setup if you're interested in the idea of having two displays without having to connect them.
It does allow for some multitasking once you get used to it. Performance is fine for most occasions and it also has decent battery life.
It's incredibly fast and portable considering it has 2 screens. The second screen has its consequences as it causes the keyboard and mouse to trackpad are much smaller.
